Snowfall deposition in mountainous terrain: a statistical downscaling scheme from high-resolution model data on simulated topographies

One of the primary causes of non-uniform snowfall deposition on the ground in mountainous regions is the preferential deposition of snow, which results from the interaction of near-surface winds with topography and snow particles. However, producing high-r ...

Classifying Dyads for Militarized Conflict Analysis

Robert West

Understanding the origins of militarized conflict is a complex, yet important undertaking. Existing research seeks to build this understanding by considering bi-lateral relationships between entity pairs (dyadic causes) and multi-lateral relationships amon ...

Voice-leading Schema Recognition using Rhythm and Pitch Features

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Christoph Finkensiep, Ken Jacques Alfonso Deguernel

Musical schemata constitute important structural building blocks used across historical styles and periods. They consist of two or more melodic lines that are combined to form specific successions of intervals. This paper tackles the problem of recognizing ...

Node Attribute Completion in Knowledge Graphs with Multi-Relational Propagation

Robert West, Eda Bayram, Alberto Garcia Duran

The existing literature on knowledge graph completion mostly focuses on the link prediction task. However, knowledge graphs have an additional incompleteness problem: their nodes possess numerical attributes, whose values are often missing. Our approach, d ...

Consolidation of database check constraints

Nikola Obrenovic

Independent modeling of various modules of an information system (IS), and consequently database subschemas, may result in formal or semantic conflicts between the modules being modeled. Such conflicts may cause collisions between the integrated database s ...

Efficient Query Processing for Spatial and Temporal Data Exploration

Eleni Tzirita Zacharatou

Core to many scientific and analytics applications are spatial data capturing the position or shape of objects in space, and time series recording the values of a process over time. Effective analysis of such data requires a shift from confirmatory pipelin ...

Machine learning for cross-gazetteer matching of natural features

Elise Acheson

Defining and identifying duplicate records in a dataset is a challenging task which grows more complex when the modeled entities themselves are hard to delineate. In the geospatial domain, it may not be clear where a mountain, stream, or valley ends and be ...
